The story of 16th-century British women who are all married to the same men is told through the medium of a music competition. While addressing female marital issues and their reality, this musical gives America Idol and The Voice vibes. "Six," the flash upbeat emotional pop musical showcases retelling the story of King Henry VIII’s six ex-wives.
In SIX, the six wives of Henry VIII reunite as a 21st-century supergirl group. The Six is a British musical comedy created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss in their final exam at university. The idea of writing SIX in the first place came from Moss and Marlow's sense that there simply weren't enough substantive roles for women. “We had loads of women and non-binary friends who never got the good parts,” Moss explains. “Women have emotional ballads; the guys have big character songs,” Marlow says, according to Vouge. A singing competition presents the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII as a modern retelling.
Throughout Moss and Marlow's 80-minute musical, there is structure and a predictable element to tell their individual stories. The performance has a cast with bring-the-roof-down kind vocal abilities. Throughout the show, there wasn't much musical theatre. It was a concert with spoken word dialogue. The music numbers are catchy pop music with each verse having its own solo. Flashing lights and changes in colour were used in the set production designs for a concert.
“Six” is a pop anthem and a worthy ballad coming from the performer. During each fierce anthem, a former wife expresses what happened to her in order to determine who had it worse. It's a story about how they lost their heads. There was a sense of a concert by six Broadway stars in the choreography. The open members and original music were so rememberable.
The musical left an impression on me. The original musical is adapted to live in the 21st century. Everyone has a story to tell, and it's told from their perspective. All the Boardway stars had their time to shine and uplift their co-stars' performances. Although the dialogue wasn't big, it conveyed the message. Its concert-style structure makes it an accurate portrayal of the work of the six wives. The dialogue are used to set up the next numbers showing the characters backstory. The character showdown was used effectively.
The Six is entertaining storytelling with a modern twist. It's a concert for everyone to enjoy with funny banter for the audience to enjoy . The Six are flashy in all the right ways. I'm a big fan of the Six. As a woman, I enjoyed the performance and the message even more. You shouldn't compete with other women and everyone's story is valid.
